Americans in Ireland.

Everywhere in Ireland the Iris Imam
loves the American, but nowhere more
warmly than in the cities, where in de
spite of his race generosity he is not
averse to imposing an extra per cent on
everything the American buys. The
Irish hotels which cater to the Americans
are quite as lofty as those of the CONT
nent in prices, and the guest is held to a
strict accountability for fees. though he
is smothered with thanks when he sub
mits. An Americans identity, If not
discovered by his manners, is winkea
through Dublin and Cork, from the hotel
porter down to the newspaper boy. The
latter will pursue an American for two
blocks the moment he gets scent of him.
The jaunting car man will leave the fare

asked the cGbby the figure of the fare.

ADvIcEs from the capital of the
Chinese Empire say that q Christian
Chinaman has petitioned the Board of
Censors against the construction of rail-
ways in China. He asks that the two
existing railways be destroyed and that
the construction of railways be never
allowed anywhere in China, in order
that the wealth of his country may not
flow to foreign nat ons. If China, how
ever, must have railways, let her, he
says, build them herself. The petit
ton, it is satisfactory to learn, has had
no effect. The writer of it has travelled
in Europe and the United States, and
is credited with selfish motives.

A CITIZEN of Kingston, n. Y, who is
unfortunate enough to be the husband
of a woman who owns all the money in
the possession of the pair, adopted a
novel scheme the other day to make a
raise of small sum. He went to hat
store, secured - hat, and arranged
with the merchant to bring his wife to
pay for it, when the merchant was to
charge 81 and pay him the difference.
The man brought his wife, who, after
admiring him in his hat, reluctantly
paid the 81 and the couple left. Short
ly afterward the man returned, got the
other 50, and departed happy.

THE birth of Secretary Whitney's
daughter, writes a correspondent, IS
the fifth instance in the last twenty
years of an increase in like manner OF
a Cabinet family. During Johnson's
administration Secretary McCulloch
was presented with daughter, as was
also Postmaster General Denison. In
General Grants second term two Cab
met babies were born-one the daugh-
ter of Secretary Belknap, the other
the daughter of Secretary Robson.
Why all Cabinet babies should be girls
is question which naturally suggests
itself from the above facts.

The recent improvement in EN-
peror Williams health is due to the
fact that since his return to Berlin he
has become much more amenable to
the wishes of his physicians, says the
London World. He does not now ex-
pose himself to cold weather as he has
hitherto insisted on doing; he sleeps in
warm room instead of having his
apartments arranged as if he were a
robust subaltern in q barrack: and he
no longer lives by clockwork. The
Emperor till recently never either ate
or drank except at certain specified
hours, when he INDUCED his appetite
in very reckless way. But now his
Majesty takes some kind of food every
two hours, such as very strong beef
tea, eggs Eeaten up with wine tokay
and cream, coffee, and isinglass. The
Emperor's great meal had always been
supper till this autumn, and most of
his recent illnesses have arisen from in
discretions at table. He delighted in
Holsters in every shape and form,
especially hot, with rich sauce, and
washed down by copious draughts of
Rhine wine. Another favorite dish was
crawfish soup, and also the Russian
batwinia, a cold fish soup, in which
beer, cider, rancid herrings, and salt
cucumbers are ingredients. The En-
peror was also fond of veal stewed with
cloves and cinnamon, and of pork
stewed with nutmeg and marshmallow;
while a frequent sweet was large
sponge-cake well stepped in rum. The
physicians are of the opinion that his
Majesty may now live for some years
longer, unless there should be very
cold weather.

A NOVELTY in ladies' dress has been
brought out at the pro-cathedral, Mel
bourne, Australia, and the originator
is the Rev. J. T.. Bromby, the clergy
man who officiates there. 1t is nothing
more nor less than q surpl ce for the
ladies in the choir who supplement the
singing of the men and boys. The
Church Of England Messenger on
the spot having criticised the innova-
ton adversely, Mr.. Bromby preached
on the subject. The following is an
extract from his sermon: 1T cannot
be denied that, considering the extra
ordinary caprices of fashion in the mat
ter of female attire, it would offend the
taste to see the simple uniformity of
supplied men and boys disturbed by
the intrusion of the grotesque and daily
changing inventions of the Paris mil
liner. What better solution, then, of
the difficulty could there be than to
clothe the female members of the choir
In an ecclesiastical vestment of such a
suitable type as should harmonic well
with the surroundings of their position,
and at the same time not destroy that
distinctive gracefulness of attire to
which their sex entities them?" Three
young ladies in SUPPLIES, edged black,
and caps of college style, have been
photographed, and form a group-re-
minding those who have seen it of the
likeness of the Princess of Wales in her
diploma costume.

combined against the Lieutenant's wife.

The engagement of the son of Sen
ator Hearst of California and Miss
Eleanor Calhoun is announced, and
they will be married in the early
spring. says Washington correspond
ent. This is the young lady who omit
ted to marry the Hon. Fred II. Winston
on an American man-of-war in the
Golden Horn while the latter was on
his way to Persia. She is grand
daughter of John G.. Calhoun, the
great nullifer, and she halls from Caro-
lima, although she has been long
abroad. Mr.. Winston met her in Eng
land, and became engaged to her there
after short acquaintance. She was
studying for the stage at that time, and
has since made her debut in London
with more or less success. 1t is sup
posed that her ambition to shine at an
Oriental court inspired Mr.. Winston to
seek the Persian mission, and the COM
mission as Brigadier General in the
Illinois State Guard. For some rea-
son or other she threw him over, and
the programme to have the marriage
performed by Sunset Cox on the
man-of-war in the Bosphorus was aban.
doned. Young Mr.. Hearst has been a
follower of the somewhat tickle young
lady for several years, and when the
Winston affair was on he mourned
dreadfully.
